Tapered cylinder guard. Hardened steel bolt with a 1” throw and a saw-resistant feature. Bolt encased in single piece housing. Bolt constructed so as to limit internal movement or “play” when the bolt is fully extended.   Not all deadbolts are created equal.  They appear similar on the exterior, but the internal components are critical to the overall integrity of the lock.  Inquire whether the deadbolt meets or exceeds ANSI grade 2. All exterior doors should be equipped with a deadbolt lock.   Keys   Proper monitoring and control of keys can help prevent passkey burglary.  The following are suggestions to better insure keys are properly controlled:   When someone moves into previously occupied home, all exterior doors should be re-keyed.   Avoid hiding a key outside.  Burglars often know all the hiding places.  Place a key in a secure key lock box outside for emergencies.       DRUG ACTIVITY If you have concerns about possible drug activity in your neighborhood please call us.  The number to the SCAT Hotline is 267-7728.  YOU CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS.    TRAFFIC COMPLAINTS If there are other areas where you have observed repeated traffic violations then please call and let me know.  Any Officer at Patrol North can help you with a traffic complaint or you can visit our website and fill out a report online.     HELPFUL NUMBERS Below is a list of numbers that may be helpful to you to improve your neighborhood or report issues in your neighborhood: Schools: Spaght MultiMedia Magnet Elementary School, 2316 E 10th         http://spaght.usd259.org/   Civic Organizations or Non-profit Organizations or Churches: Urban League of Kansas, 2418 E 9th                                       http://www.kansasul.org/   City Parks: http://www.wichita.gov/CityOffices/Park/Parks/ Spruce Park, 1202 N Spruce   Helpful Numbers/Contacts: Patrol North: 350-3400 Patrol South: 350-3440 Patrol East: 350-3420 Patrol West: 350-3460 Community Policing: North: 303-8064 South: 462-2777 East: 688-9545 West: 337-9126   Investigations: 268-4407 Crime Stoppers: 267-2111 Central Inspection: 268-4481 Potholes and Damaged Streets: 268-4013 Damaged or inoperable traffic signs/signals: 268-4029 City Council Member District 1:   Vice Mayor Lavonta Williams     City Council, District 1 455 N.
